I'm trying to rearrange my room and have been doing some research on feng shui. Apparently, to have a positive energy on your love life and romantic relationships, your bed should be accessible from both sides; my bed has been in the direct corner of my room, which symbolizes me having "closed" relationships. Maybe that's why I can't commit to anyone.

Has anyone taken feng shui into consideration while decorating or arranging a room? I am going to be here reading up and moving furniture for the rest of the night. Maybe this'll help bring some balance into my life.

Oh man, so that's my problem!  My bed is walled in on three sides and is highly elevated besides.  So that's at least 50% more closed off then you my friend.  Take comfort that there is a soul out there more pitiful-  I wish you luck... but I cannot help you.

That's funny. I would say it's more likely that you don't fear being alone. It is my preferred method of existence, by the way. My bed is also in a corner of my room, but my TV and computer are centered, accessible from more than one side. I know what's important.

  I've noticed that the condition of being alone in the sense of generating feelings of loneliness is something many people fear. My reasoning is that if you do not fear that condition, then you may have trouble committing (in my case). A relationship is not guaranteed to eliminate loneliness, but it certainly can offer one the hope of not feeling alone. Just as many people puzzle over how I can not be with someone, I puzzle over how they can.

I'm not into feng shui, but I can get behind the whole concept.  We've actually redone our master bedroom several times and each time I think we're getting closer and closer to perfection   Our bed has the top against the wall and that's it - there's no way we'd crawl over each other just to get in bed! 

If you want a good feeling to come out of your room, just clean up.  It's amazing what that will do.

Eh, mine is easily accessible all around, but it doesn't help. 

Oh, this doesn't sound good.

edit: you can always talk about your problems with us... at least you'll get lots of opinions!

Both Carl and yourself have turned out to be motivational. Carl had pointed out that I get too much input, and thus I need to produce output. You have shown me that my problems can be interesting to others. I have a very strange way of viewing my own past. I find it hard to believe that people remain the same as they age. In fact, I would argue that they are actually different people, despite the fact that the DNA remains the same. For example, I have many different selves; a virtually unlimited number. There was the 12 year old, the 14 year old, the 17 year old, etc. They were all different people. I'm even very different from my 30 year old self. My argument is so extreme that I'm saying my older selves are not me. It's simply not possible - they no longer exist. A reasonable complaint against my claims is that since I retain memories of those formers selves, how can I be a different person? For the same reason that future generations of humans are different from past generations. They're still humans, but change as time progresses. What I'm saying is that individuals can change as dramatically as the entirety of human civilization over time.

  As for my problems, I have written 18 pages so far (in a notebook). I've barely started so this is going to be a whopper.

i find the practice of Hu Flung Pu to be very relaxing. It's widely popular in the Dung Fling provence...
